Jessa was too embarrassed to raise such a request. He wanted me to mention this matter later. Then he would echo and support it. Jessa would probably move in after that. Then he could take care of both of us.
Indeed, he was both cunning and deceitful. He would only play up to me when he had to ask something from me.
"I just want to live my life in peace. Why won't they both leave me alone?"
"I'm going abroad to participate in a competition, so I don't want anyone to disturb me during this time."
The two of them came back happily with food. Later, I told them about this matter.
For me, the most important thing now was to participate in the international event and let the whole world see my painting. Whether my statement would make them unhappy wasn't something I should consider.
"Scarlett, what do you mean by this? Didn't you agree not to participate in the event before? Now that you want to take part in it, what about our wedding?"
Gavin thought I would cooperate with him. He even looked at me and gave me a signal before sitting down, but my words surprised him.
"The wedding can proceed as scheduled, but the bride won't be me. I am not your bride. She is."
